OpenIPC Dashboard (C++ Rewrite)

This is a C++ / Qt 6 rewrite of the OpenIPC Dashboard.

Prerequisites

• C++ Compiler: MSVC (Visual Studio 2019+) or MinGW.
• CMake: Version 3.16 or higher.
• Qt 6: Installed via the Qt Online Installer. Make sure to install the Qt 6.x component for your compiler (e.g., MSVC 2019 64-bit).

Project Structure

• src/main.cpp: Application entry point.
• src/ui/Main.qml: Main user interface (QML).
• src/backend/: C++ classes handling business logic (replacing Rust).
• CMakeLists.txt: Build configuration.

How to Build

1. Open this folder in Visual Studio Code or Qt Creator.
2. Configure the project using CMake.
   • If using VS Code, ensure the CMake Tools extension is installed.
   • Select your Kit (e.g., Visual Studio Community 2022 Release - amd64).
3. Build the project.

Command Line Build

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:/Qt/6.x.x/msvc2019_64"
cmake --build .

Roadmap for Porting

1. Video Streaming: Integrate QtMultimedia or LibVLC to replace the web-based player.
2. ONVIF Discovery: Implement UDP broadcast discovery in SystemController::scanNetwork.
3. Sidecar Management: Bundle go2rtc and ffmpeg binaries and manage them via QProcess.
